Last week news broke that new 76ers power forward Royce White plans to fly in a plane with the Sixers team. White has yet to appear in a NBA game due to his well-documented anxiety disorder that includes a fear of flying. His anxiety disorder combined with his obsessive-compulsive disorder has made him a total wild card entering the season.All of that progress made with White willing to fly is great but he isn't totally a changed man. White told ESPN that he still plans on taking a bus to as many games as possible, potentially even driving to the games himself. He might need to leave himself some more time to get to further destinations like Toronto.

He has made headlines on and off the court this offseason. Anxious Mind's Inc., a group that White started while attending Iowa State, has joined forces with the Houston-based Busy Bee Wellness Center to start the Royce White Institute for Mental Health. The center is slated to be open in January 2014. One week after that announcement, a report came out that White was being investigated for domestic abuse.

White, 22, appeared in 16 games in the NBA Developmental League averaging 11.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. He is a big man who can really move the ball and has the ability to get to the free throw line. It is unclear how the 76ers plan to use him but his contract expires at the end of the year.
